LAPPLICATION SECTOR
‘The present norm is applicable to zine coated steel wires before or after winding used for fabrication
and / or strengthening of conductors for overhead lines for transporting electrical energy.
It-covers all the wires in the category which use the diameters of individual wires, coating included,
ranging from 1.25 mm to 5.50 mm
The use of two types of steel is foreseen for meeting with the requirement of conductors : normal
steel and stee! of high resistance.
‘Two types of coatings are considered following the minimum zine mass per unit of surface : Class E
(thick) identical to the Class | CEI 888, and Class S (semi-thick)..
2.CHARACTERISTICS OF ZINC COATED STEEL WIRES
2.1 Material
‘The steel wires should have the following specific properties : The zinc plates should contain at
least 99.85% of zinc. The coating of the wires should be done when warm. It can be applied before oF
after winding, as decided by the supplier and the buyer.
Table 1 gives the minimal mass of coating for zine for each class/category whatever the
procedure ;
‘Tin the case of zine coating before winding
Zin the case of zine coating after winding,: C3413,
PREFACE
‘The present norm is a revision of the NF C 34- 125 of September 1976, IL takes into account the
‘work carried out by the Study Committed number 7 of the International Electronic Commission
and specially the Publication number 888,
However, it contains some additions to the international publications ;
= Itspecifies a verification of the continuity of covering stee! wires by an immersion
trial, as well as with a specific type of zine in the case of high resistant stee! wires
= It recommends the preferred diameters corresponding to the present wires of
conductors used in France since the publication of this norm
‘The national norms of European countries was used in the project group BTTE 67 ~ 3 of
CENELEC , the present counterpart of the norm has not been given
‘The present norm is published for trial period of 2 years , at the end of which , the competent
commission will examine the possibility of adopting this procedure taking into account the results of
CENELEC.
‘The present norm was adopted by the Managing Committee of the Technical Union of Electricity
‘on 2" September 1992,‘The surface of zine should be smooth & not contain any dents, stains or joints
‘Nominal diameter and tolerance on diameter
The standard values of nominal diameter of zine coated wires is not fixed.
Nevertheless, this standard indicates some preferred values expressed in millimetres
1,68~ 2.00 ~2.25 2.40 ~ 2.50 ~2.65 ~ 2.80 ~ 3.15
Table 2 & 3 indicate the limit of diameter with reference to nomimal diameter

2.8 Length & tolerance on length
Unless otherwise decided by the buyer & the manufacturer, the steel wire should be supplied with
the minimum length specified by the buyer, with a concession of + 4%, Measurement of length longer
or shorter than this specification is not acceptable unless decided in advance by the buyer & the
fabricator.
2.9 Welding
Welding is permitted on the laminated hot wiring machine or on the semi finished wire, before or
after heat treatment, but before the last winding operation . The authorised methods of welding are
electric & welding from one end to another by Joule effect or by spark welding.
‘The wires on which the welding is carried out by the above mentioned procedures should have
resistance to traction at least equal to 80% of that obtained on the wires without welding.
No welding can be carried out om stel wires afte the last winding operation
3 Tests
3.1 Classification of tests
‘The tests are classified as follows
= Qualification tests carried out on the model at the beginning of the series conforming
to the specifications of paragraph 3.2
= Tests of series recommended in the context of the procedure for quality assurance,
conforming to specifications of paragraph 3.3
+ Tests of acceptance carried out in the context of procedure for receiving at the time
of delivery of wires conforming to the specifications of paragraph 3.4
